@arstechnica#Canva could twist the knife by purchasing or merging with #Figma. If I could go back in time I would tell #Macromedia, sell off assets like #Freehand and #Dreamweaver to #Quark in order to create more hyper competition in the market. #Adobe wouldn't be doing what its doing right now. Not many learned from the #Microsoft suite wars of the 90s that bundling is the end game.
Timeline blowing up today with the news of #Canva puchasing #Affinity. Posts are pouring in, written in SO many languages. ALL of them worrying about yet another good software suite falling victim to #enshittification and a license model moving from perpetual to monthly subscription.
Users universally loathe subs and we have all seen this story play out before. Nobody trusting the "no changes planned at this time" message.
A sad state of affairs when we all now EXPECT to be worse off shortly.
When we think of tracking or surveillance, we often think of Facebook, Instagram or Google but Viber (chat app) and Canva (photo editing) also do some tracking.

I don't know how to make clip art or how to sell clip art to canva, but it sure looks like there's a latent demand for some good covid clipart. n-95s without vent holes, lots of things if anyone is looking for a #canva#clipart niche #gig.
